A particularly good vintage for Barolo.
Nebbiolo grapes, their name a reference to nebbia, the white colour present on the grape skin due to the bloom and similar to the fog seen during harvest time.
The wine matures for two years in big barrels, then for one year in concrete vats. Bright, deep garnet red colour.
Very rich and multifaceted nose, balsamic and spicy, with notes of currant, cardamom, wild strawberry, mulberry, chocolate and some hints of vanilla and tobacco.
Lively on the palate, rich and velvety, finely grained tannins balanced well with bracing minerality, lots of mouthfeel, delicate oak complexity. Full, elegant body with a long and harmonious finish.
Great expression and modern interpretation of Barolo, that can age for a long time – at least fifteen years.
